Re: National Factory Tour
That's fun. Thanks for posting!
I wish they'd show some metal bodies being formed.
And some cones being spun.
That, after all, is what it's all about!

Re: National Factory Tour
Yah they don't show the whole operation, maybe they don't want to give up all their secrets. The custom built side bending machines are pretty cool. Also there are some nice shots of the tricones in the finishing stages. Helpful for me because I am currently building a tricone. I picked up a few tips. Seems like a cool place to work.Eric Dahlhoff wrote: 24 Apr 2025 9:40 pm That's fun. Thanks for posting!

A while ago I found this from Mule resonators https://www.resohangout.com/archive/30050 This shows a pretty low tech way to make a metal body, but I have a feeling this is how National does it too. Both use silver bearing solder to join the halves. Maybe someday..
